💡 Tips

  • Explore the Cu De river valley in the early morning when the mist is still hanging over the surrounding mountains.
  • Rent a motorbike to navigate the scenic, winding roads heading towards the foothills of the Hai Van Pass.
  • Visit the local pagodas within the commune to admire traditional Vietnamese architecture in a peaceful setting.
  • Stop at small roadside 'quán' for an authentic iced coffee (Cà Phê Sữa Đá), it's strong, cheap, and very local.
  • Bring a light jacket if you are heading into the hilly areas, as it can get surprisingly cool under the forest canopy.

Bãi Hầm and Bãi Xoan are two such hidden gems, offering pristine sands and crystal-clear waters away from the main tourist crowds. These spots are popular for camping and trekking due to their natural, undeveloped state, allowing for a true escape into nature. The area's landscape is a dramatic mix of mountains meeting the sea, characteristic of the Central Vietnam coastline near the famous Hai Van Pass. Local life revolves around agriculture and fishing, and visitors can witness traditional techniques still in use today. The proximity to the Son Tra Peninsula features additional opportunities for wildlife spotting and exploring lush forests. Hòa Liên is a good destination for adventurous travelers who want to explore the wilder side of Da Nang and enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding bays.
